New Music Recommendations

Modesto’s shoegaze icons, Whirr, have released their euphoric new record Raw Blue. Though this was technically released on Christmas Day 2024, the internet shows this as a 2025 record…so this will definitely be making it on to my 2025 AOTY list. Throw this record on and drift into shoegazey space. FFO: Have a Nice Life, my bloody valentine, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, Narrow Head.
